Team Penske rediscovered its mojo Saturday night at Iowa Speedway, claiming three of the top four spots in the results and making some gains in the NTT IndyCar points standings.
Winner Josef Newgarden and runner-up Will Power gave Team Penske its first 1-2 finish since Sonoma in 2017 when Simon Pagenaud, Newgarden (who clinched his first championship) and Power were 1-2-3.
After winning Friday’s race at Iowa, Pagenaud delivered a fourth place for Penske’s best race of a season plagued by misfortune, mistakes and some bad luck.

After starting third, defending series champion Marc Marquez went off course twice in Turn 4 during the MotoGP 2020 opener.
Marquez managed to save his bike on Lap 5 but handed the lead to Quartararo.
Marquez fell from first to 16th, but the Repsol Honda rider was back up to fourth and contending for a podium when he crashed with four laps remaining. Marquez was able to get on his feet after the wreck but later was taken to the medical center for observation.
Before the race, MotoGP held a minute of silence for those affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The reaction says it all!!! 🙌
